In this episode of the Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast, host Scott Molchan sits down with Derek and Kelli Shaw of Hey Lieu to uncover a game-changing strategy for landscapers—leveraging Virtual Assistants (VAs) to save time, reduce costs, and streamline business operations.
Running a landscaping business is overwhelming, and administrative tasks can quickly eat up your time. But what if you could outsource those tasks to highly skilled, cost-effective remote assistants? Derek and Kelli share how they used VAs to transform their moving business and how landscapers can do the same. From customer follow-ups to scheduling, bookkeeping, and even marketing, VAs can take critical tasks off your plate so you can focus on growth.
💡 “If you’re spending time on tasks that don’t make you money, it’s time to outsource.”
In this episode, we cover:
✅ What Virtual Assistants are and how they work.
✅ The biggest misconceptions about hiring VAs.
✅ How landscapers can use VAs for scheduling, follow-ups, estimates, and admin work.
✅ Real-world success stories of businesses saving thousands with VAs.
✅ How Hey Lieu simplifies the process of finding and managing a Virtual Assistant.
✅ The financial impact—how one company cut six figures in overhead using VAs.
🌟 If you’re drowning in admin work, missing customer calls, or struggling to stay on top of your business, this episode is a must-listen. Learn how Virtual Assistants can give you back your time and boost your bottom line.

In this episode of the Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast, host Kati Molchan dives into a topic that’s shaking up the landscaping world: artificial intelligence (AI) and how tools like ChatGPT can transform your business.
Kati tackles the common misconceptions landscapers have about AI—"It doesn’t mow lawns or dig holes, so why bother?"—and explains why embracing ChatGPT can help simplify your day-to-day operations, save time, and reduce stress.
From drafting professional emails to creating job descriptions, generating seasonal marketing content, and brainstorming new services, ChatGPT is a versatile tool that can get 80% of the work done for you—leaving you to polish it with your expertise. Kati also shares practical tips for using ChatGPT in your business, from building FAQs for your website to creating client newsletters and even designing training materials for your crew.
This episode isn’t about replacing the hard work you already do—it’s about using AI as an assistant to make running your landscaping business smoother, easier, and more efficient.

Kati reveals why starting small with ChatGPT now can give you an edge in 2025 and how she plans to share more tools and resources for landscapers in the coming year. Don’t miss out—get started today!
